It was designed to benefit lefties like Giles with the 322 feet Right Field fence, but for some reason, the ball doesn't carry to right whatsoever. It sucks. However, they kind of negated that by making the deepest point in right-center, at 411 feet. It's hard to tell what they were planning with that...

I'm watching the Giants-Padres game on TV and Ryan Klesko is going nuts after launching bombs all over the park, only to see them get caught. He finally got a ground-rule double in his last at-bat but that too looked like it would have been out at another ballpark.

Roger Angell: I was talking with Bob Gibson and I said: 'Are you always this competitive?' He said: 'Oh, I think so. I got a three-year old daughter, and I've played about 500 games of tic-tac-toe with her and she hasn't beat me yet.'

Well, Lawrence's WHIP numbers have been horrible in two games thus far (one was home for sure, I don't know about the other).

We'll have to give it more time, though. It's only been the first homestand, so maybe the wind's just been light. It could change soon. However, I wouldn't bank on that, because reports were that the ball wasn't carrying well in practice.
